Abstract
Abstract An electro-magnetically shielded connector comprises a connector body including at least two housings; an electrically conductive layer formed on a surface of one of the two housings in such a manner that the electrically conductive layer covers a surface of the one housing, and when the two housings are combined with each other, at least a part of the electrically conductive layer on an inner surface of the one housing is exposed; and main electrically connecting device for electrically connecting the electrically conductive layer of the connector body and a shield of a shielded cable to seal an inside of the connector body.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
An electromagnetically shielded connector comprising: a housing made of an electrically insulating material, said housing defining a chamber therein; a shield member made of an electrically conductive material, said shield member being disposed inside of said housing and being integrally formed with said housing; an electrical terminal received in said chamber and adapted to be connected to a shielded electrical cable; a water-proof plug coupled to an end of said shielded electrical cable and being adapted to receive a portion of the shielded electrical cable, said water-proof plug being disposed in an opening of said chamber to seal said opening; and a connecting member made of an electrically conductive material, said connecting member being disposed on an outer surface of said water-proof plug and being connected to a shield of the shielded electrical cable and to said shield member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
An electromagnetically shielded connector comprising: a housing made of an electrically insulating material, said housing defining a chamber therein; a shield member made of an electrically conductive material, said shield member being disposed inside of said housing and being integrally formed with said housing; an electrical terminal received in said chamber and adapted to be connected to a shielded electrical cable; a water-proof plug coupled to an end of said shielded electrical cable and being adapted to receive a portion of the shielded electrical cable, said water-proof plug being disposed in an opening of said chamber to seal said opening; and a connecting member made of an electrically conductive material, said connecting member being disposed on an outer surface of said water-proof plug and being connected to a shield of the shielded electrical cable and to said shield member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A connector as recited in claim 1 wherein said housing is made of synthetic resin and said shield member and said connecting member are made of metal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
A connector as recited in claim 1 wherein said water-proof plug is substantially cylindrical and has an inner surface which is formed with a step that abuts a sheath of the shielded electrical cable and an outer surface which is tapered.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A connector as recited in claim 3 wherein an inner surface of said housing is tapered to correspond to the outer surface of said water-proof plug.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
72 words
A connector as recited in claim 4 further comprising: a mating housing adapted to receive a portion of said housing; a terminal disposed in said mating housing; a packing disposed on an inner surface of said mating housing; and a rocking arm pivotally disposed on said mating housing and having an end which can be engaged with an outer surface of said housing to hold said housing and said mating housing together.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
122 words
An electromagnetically shielded connector comprising: a housing unit made of an electrically insulating material, said housing unit comprising at least one housing and defining a chamber therein; a shield member made of an electrically conductive material, said shield member being disposed inside of said housing unit; an electrical terminal received in said chamber and adapted to be connected to a shielded electrical cable; a water-proof plug coupled to an end of said shielded electrical cable and being adapted to receive a portion of the shielded electrical cable, said water proof plug being disposed in an opening of said chamber to seal said opening, said water-proof plug having means for electrically connecting a shield of the shielded electrical cable to said shield member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
122 words
An electromagnetically shielded connector comprising: a housing unit made of an electrically insulating material, said housing unit comprising at least one housing and defining a chamber therein; a shield member made of an electrically conductive material, said shield member being disposed inside of said housing unit; an electrical terminal received in said chamber and adapted to be connected to a shielded electrical cable; a water-proof plug coupled to an end of said shielded electrical cable and being adapted to receive a portion of the shielded electrical cable, said water proof plug being disposed in an opening of said chamber to seal said opening, said water-proof plug having means for electrically connecting a shield of the shielded electrical cable to said shield member.
